Hi all,
I need to use a microphone input as a trigger. In other words my idea is
to connect a switch to the microphone input. In this way, when the
switch is turned on it generates a spike in the captured track.
I would like to create a program that trigger an event every spike it
receives.
I succeed in capturing the mic input through a simple program that uses
alsa driver, but I don't know how to "parse" the raw data to search for
the spikes. Any hints?
Second question: on a "full duplex" sound card, can I capture at 8 bit,
mono, 22.050 bit/s , and on the same time playback at 16 bit, stereo,
44.100 ?
Thank you!
Lorenzo
I'm a home studio enthusiast and also a former JAVA programmer.
I'm looking at combining these interests and contributing to a
project, but most apps seem to be written in C++.
Any suggestions? Anyone involved in any good JAVA projects?

Hi,
I have a soundcard M Audio Fast Track Pro 4x4 and I'm trying use four outputs at the same time, but I have
no sucess.
I tried configure with the tips of alsa-project page and here its instructions don't work correctly.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
I wrote a little rant today, that I published on my blog:
http://propirate.net/oracle/archives/2008/11/05/alsa-headaches-erm-headphon…
I send it to the Linux Audio Developers List, in the hope that it will
be read by the right people, or by someone who knows who to talk to.
Also I would like to encourage a little discussion and brainstorming
about source and solution of the problem I am describing:
------------------------------------------
I own a laptop, that I run with Linux, using the ALSA for controlling
the laptops built in sound card. The laptop comes with built in
speakers and microphone, as well as two plugs for headphones and a
microphone respectively. Those plugs would come in quite useful, for
attaching a headset to talk on VoIP Internet telephony software.
However, there is a problem with this Laptops audio system.
What I would expect is that as soon as I drive the plug into the
headphone jack, that the built in speakers remain silent, while the
audio is routed into my headphones. However, this does not happen. The
tunes from my music player software happily chung along on both the
internal speakers and the headphones. Does this behavior make any
sense?
What if I'd like to use the headphones in an environment where I ought
to make no noise? Then the speakers continuing to transmit the audio
would be quite offending.
Ok, so it does not work automatically. Every self respecting Linux
distribution today comes with an extensive audio mixer control panel.
Turning my attention to that control panel, I tried to achieve the
required circumstances for making use of my headphones, I was
disappointed severely. While there are controls that are labeled
headphones, those actually do not act as expected, in fact they do
nothing. Playing around with other control items with cumbersome
names, I was unable to resolve the situation to my satisfaction.
So I am asking myself, why does this happen, and turn my eyes to the
available ALSA support channels. What I find there suggests that other
users experience the exact same grief, however, without resolution,
unfortunately.
Being a techno-geek of course, it is quite clear to me why this
happens. There are a couple of standardized audio chips, used by
various manufactures. ALSA recognizes those chips and exposes the
available mixer controls in its control panels. The manufactures using
those chips in their hardware, are likely not wiring them up in
identical matters to other manufacturers. For example, if a laptop
that uses that chip has no headphone plugs, the chip will still have
the mixer controls built in, yet there is no wire attached to those
chip pins. Und careless manufacturers, might even wire them up wrongly
accidentally. Like connecting the headphone pins to the speaker wires?
So the ALSA people are in some kind of predicament here, they cannot
know how the chip is wired up, and they quite obviously cannot own all
the available laptops and computers to test them with their individual
configuration.
So how could a solution to this situation look like?
I am not an ALSA programmer, so I don't know whether that is feasible,
but what I would suggest is the following:
Create a simple and friendly software tool, that guides a not so
technical user to the process of identifying and testing all the
different mixer configurations, and asks the right question to test
whether all of them work as intended. The tool would collect that
information, along with an identifier that allows to recognize the
model of the laptop used, and send that information back to the ALSA
developers. Those could then integrate this information into the
project, and whenever a future user starts ALSA on an identical
machine, it would already know the perfect configuration for this
machines individual mixer control setup.
What do you think?
Cheers

Hey gang, is there any good documentation on how to use libsox
on the net? i've been googling but nothing except the ubuntu man
pages cropped up?

* zynjacku is updated to latest state of lv2 art
* lv2rack - a lv2 effect rack (jack) is created (reuses lot of zynjacku
code).
* zynjacku development moved to git: http://repo.or.cz/w/zynjacku.git
Testers welcome ;)
For lv2 midi event port synths (the new ones),
you will need slv2 svn r1698 (at least)
Short term plans:
* Cooperate with Krzysztof Foltman on calfwidgets+lv2rack/zynjacku
* Ubuntu packages for lv2zynadd, zynjacku and lv2rack
* Listen to feedback :D

Hi :)
I'm new to the list and I'm not a Linux audio developer. I was a coder
for C64 MIDI and audio, programming in Assembler, I have less knowledge
about C/C++.
Because I have to do some research, e.g. because of strange behaviour of
MTC, I need a MIDI monitor, that shows MIDI bytes instead of an
interpretation of the MIDI events, like it's done by gmidimonitor and
kmidimon.
I just wish to have an application that is reading a timer and byte by byte, so that I can scroll through the MIDI bytes.
START:
001 Is the MIDI client/port ready?
002 If so, get the TIME and the MIDI Byte and write both informations to
an array.
003 If there's pushed a key, jump to STOP
004 If not, go to START
STOP:
A routine that shows the TIMER and MIDI Bytes in a list, that can be
scrolled, maybe simply by saving it as a file.txt.
It should look like this:
minutes:seconds:milliseconds MIDI-Byte
00:00:004 f0
00:00:005 0a
00:00:006 0f
00:00:007 05
Because I need to sync Linux to my Atari ST I was thinking of programming such a MIDI monitor for the Atari in GFA-BASIC and for Linux in X11-BASIC, that nearly is the same BASIC, but I don't know if there is a way to open ALSA MIDI clients/ports for the INP command.
As an alternative I guess I could try to compile and change this source code to my needs: http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/alsa-lib/_2test_2rawmidi_8c-example.ht…
I know that I have to delete the line numbers, but I don't know how to compile it and what header is needed to be included for using a timer and array.
I need the complete commands or a makefile including the links for the needed libs etc., to compile and link this source code.
Also the changed complete commands or a makefile when I changed the source code using a timer and array.
Or just the MIDI monitor I need.
I don't want to become a developer for Linux, I just want to do researches for bug reports by using a MIDI monitor.
E.g.:
Rosegarden can run as MTC master and sync a Yamaha RX21
Rosegarden can't sync the same way the Atari's Cubase 3.1
Ardour can run as master and sync an Atari Cubase
Another example where definitive is the need to see bytes, is to see if MIDI data is send by running status or not.
Can anybody help me to get such a MIDI monitor, maybe by simply writing me how to compile the rwamidi example?
Cheers,
Ralf

Hi,
A simple message to announce the availability of beta7 of FFADO, the
FireWire audio driver framework for Linux. It took quite some time, but
finally it is ready for large scale public testing.
Release and download information:
http://www.ffado.org/?q=release/beta
Currently, the installation options are:
* manual build from source
* semi-automatic build from source into a 'sandbox'
(http://subversion.ffado.org/wiki/SandboxInstalls)
* APT repository for Ubuntu Gutsy and Hardy (possibly others)
Please test and report issues at our TRAC at http://subversion.ffado.org/
or at the mailing list (ffado-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net). Please take
note of http://subversion.ffado.org/wiki/WritingGoodTickets when
reporting bugs.
We ask all users of freebob that are not yet testing FFADO to try this
beta release. Note that FFADO can co-exist with Freebob without any
problems, so you can revert back to your original setup very easily.
Enjoy,
Pieter Palmers
